Forum Abreviations

[McAttack]

Being new to forums (only registered with Thai Visa) I am having trouble working out some of the abreviations.

Although I come from an IT environment, one of my pet hates are abbreviations and keeping track of them all.

I've worked out LOL (Laugh out loud), BTW (by the way), IMHO (In my honest opinion) but the rest are beyond me. Sorry for my ignorance....

Could some of you seasoned forum users get me up to speed so when I read your posts I know the whole story.

ROTFLMAO is one of the best in my humble opinion.

(Rolling on the floor laughing my a$$ off)

TiT??? comes to mind

However, I've never seen ROTFLMAO before which was very good.

The thing is, when I see them I don't know what they mean so I can't remember them later on.

Off the top of your head, what are some others that you know?

IMHO AFAIK I C U R experts in abbreviations

I don't want to be a PITA but is there anyone else in the LOS, especially BKK, CM that knows any more.

Maybe HM, MIB or Toxin from TRT might know a few.

OMG I'm starting to type like an experienced OP (PM me if you think not).

FYI I have GTG now to have a QC ("Quick Coffee" abbreviation used at my place of employment) Maybe you can use it one day

BTW and this may be OT but we need more posts about the BG, TG, GF, BF and how you P4P ASAP.

FFBEST-Forty,Fat,Balding,English Sex Tourists........usually inhabit the lower regions of the pattaya-walking St. delta swamp lands.

During the hot summers days they tend to lie low near sandy areas or beside hotel swimming pools but come out in the evening when you can hear and enjoy their unique swansongs.
